In her first 14 months of life, we have been so blessed to have a very healthy little girl. She has had just one cold! That luck ran out this past weekend, however. In one hard step down, as she was practicing coming down the stairs, Cora suffered a hairline fracture to her ankle. We took her in to the hospital in Yeovil on Monday since she still wasn't bearing any weight on the leg. The doctor was able to manipulate her ankle just fine, with Cora apparently in no pain, but the x-ray showed the tiny break. We will go back in for a recheck on Wednesday morning, when we hope to find out how long Cora might be wearing her new leg-warmer; the nurse estimated three to four weeks on Monday.
As you can see, the cast goes up her leg quite a way, so that it didn't slip down and cover her toes. And, as you can see, it's not affecting her mobility too much. She's back to crawling full-time, but she is standing more again, now that the weight is falling onto the cast instead of her ankle.
Today, Stace and I spent the morning in
Glastonbury, a beautiful ancient town. We walked up to the top of Glastonbury Tor (hill), which you can see behind Cora here.
Here Cora is helping Stace smell a flower. She was loving picking the flowers, and she also got to see cows, sheep and ponies very nearby in the fields.
En guard! I love this photo. Click it to make it (or any other photo) appear bigger.
